• "A journey through death, accompanied by flowers and melodies."

You are a spiritual embalmer in this realm between the living and the dead.

Interact with the gravestones by typing the names of the deceased on computer keyboards. Unravel their past stories and settle their souls.

Typing is the main interaction, move with WASD and mouse for rotation.

~20mins experience. Interactive graves are marked with colorful flower petals. The rest are only for reading. The graveyard can shift between three worlds: the living, the between, and the dead. Players can puzzle up the deceased's stories across these worlds, and bring a meaningful item to their graves as an act of mourning.

This game is a solo production from 2022 to 2024. The instruction part is still a bit shaky; I will try to fix it next year. Before that, there is an interaction walkthrough video attached in the manual, enjoy!

This is the first part of a series of graveyard games and is therefore free. The later ones will explore different cultural backgrounds and mourning practices.
